The "Drive" star will make his debut behind the camera in the "fantasy noir" drama "How to Catch a Monster," The Hollywood Reporter reveals. Gosling also wrote the script, which will star "Mad Men's" Christina Hendricks (who also appeared in "Drive").

The movie centers on Billy, a single mother of two (Hendricks), who lives in a vanishing city and is brought into a dark underworld when her son discovers a road that leads to an underwater village. Sounds, well, just about right for the kind of bizarre fare Gosling is into.
